My Baby is Smarter Than Your Baby

Isn’t it funny how when moms of young children get together
we always end up playing this game of “Look at how my baby is way ahead of his
or her developmental milestones and doesn’t that mean he/she will be the next
Stephen Hawking”? Well, I am here
to urge you, fellow mothers, that we stop this malicious practice because my
baby is obviously so much smarter than your baby.

Yesterday Kenzie had a fever. She spent the afternoon sleeping on my chest while I watched
CNN. When I got up to make dinner,
I laid her on the couch and left the T.V. on the news because I think it’s
important that she become an informed reader of political Facebook posts.

She started pointing out things on the screen and naming
them when she recognized them.

“Flower…Puppy….House.”

“Kenzie, did you see a house?!”
“Yes.”

I think this is the smartest thing she’s ever done. The fact that she was watching world
news coverage somehow makes her seem like a genius and totally makes up for the
time that she ate a foam dinosaur.

So go ahead.
Tell me about how many words your baby knows after using “Your Baby Can
Read”. My baby can name
stuff…while watching the news.
Game. Over.

When I am working, I am a Physician Assistant although I'm still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. If I'm not chasing around my kids, I enjoy reading, writing, playing the piano badly, napping well, and reminding myself that there is no such thing as a perfect mom.
